FROM LANDSCAPE TO TIMESCAPE
(2016-17)
From Landscape to Timescape, trompe l’oeil patterns of materials near and far, tend to blur the identity of materials, and their origins, thus blurring the notion of distance and aesthetic value. The near and the far raises the question: how do our material and cultural perspectives change and respond to issues such as history of trade, economic turmoil, (mis)use of resources, instability, the dichotomies between global and local, material and virtual? I refer to these works as material frictions as well as material fictions, in the attempt to analyse what lies on the material surface as much as through the layers of history. How does something – an object, material or behaviour, through a conflict-ridden history of trade and exchange – become familiar?
